Bush - CSL rear lower arm.

J2LTB · 12-07-2015, 09:26 PM

Has anyone attempted to renew the bush at the inner end of the lower rear adjustable Csl arms ? Real oem only list the full wishbone arm without a separate bush unlike the std M3.
I'm rebushing the rear end at the mo and thought I'd renew as I'm in there.Cheers

Technically possible but being aluminium you are not suppose to press new bushes into those arms as they are considered one time item. Cheap enough to buy new really so I wouldn't really bother. Being spherical bearing they should last quite a while also.

Cheers for the reply. So that's why a separate bush isn't listed. Makes sense. I think I'll leave it as they are then. I was lead to believe those arms are no longer available at BMW ?????
